I got this truck in 2004 because I needed something I could use in any area. I wanted to be able to go off-road and tow my toys. I also wanted something that looked great and was powerful. It's a nicely built machine. I've only had regular maintenance and it always performs well.
Story
One time I got stuck out in the woods with it. Luckily one of my friends drove by, because I didn't have my cell on me.
Pros
I love the engine in this thing. It gets the job done and then some. I know I will be disappointed in the power of my next car just because this one is so terrific. I've taken it off-roading, hunting, towed water toys and my trailer. It's nice to know that it will get the job done whenever I need it.
Cons
This thing is a prolific gas hog. I like to think that in general I do good things for the environment but this truck certainly isn't one of them. I've gone back and forth about whether or not I want to replace it for this reason. Long trips are expensive for me and the world. It's also kind of a pain being the guy with the truck. You always get asked by acquaintances and friends if they could use it to move in or what not. I'm fairly protective so I usually end up being dragged along to drive it safely.
